 Shangri-La Brock-Gary Dialogue 1

Brock

The heat and humidity is just excruciating. According to the locals, the temple should be in this mountain range just up this river. Gary, do you hear that? A waterfall. We must be close. Hand me the binoculars. There is a structure up ahead. If this is truly a gateway to Agartha, my work will finally be validated.

Gary

Uh, Brock, I don't think this place is abandoned.

Brock

Don't be silly! This place has to be thousands of years old.

Brock

I have found some unfinished carvings around the structures I can't make out. They do not look like... Wait, what is this? [Clunking and Teleporter sounds]

Gary

[Zombies come] Run! [They run] What are those things?

Brock

The mysterious woman followed them into the past and into death. The Subjects arrived at Shangri-La in late 2011.

Shangri-La Crew Dialogue 1

Tank

Nikolai

Yeah, but it was nice break, no?

Takeo

Not for me. That was a horrible experience. [Shivers]

Richtofen

You just need to bite down on something.

Nikolai

Takeo, you are a really, really bad dancer. Second wife dances better than you, and she's dead! [Laughs] I miss her...

Richtofen

Shh! I hear my precious angels! Let the slaughter begin.

Takeo

Oh... I have nothing left to puke.
